Attach rates only go up as the number of consoles sold get higher.....


Actually it's the opposite of that! Higher the install base gets harder to keep/increase the attach rate.

The reason?

Not everybody are like us and buy different types of games.A lot of people only plays the COD/FIFA/GTA kind of game and thus their attach rate is not as big as ,let say,you and me.So when this people starts to buy PS4/Xone/WiiU the attach rate decreases cause they don't buy as much games as us.

That's one of the reasons why consoles with a smaller install base tend to have bigger attach rates.

how about a new ip like watch dogs selling 3.5 million and on it's way to 5 million? what about a new ip like destiny selling 4 million? what about gta, far cry, fifa, dragon age, the evil within, shadow of mordor, and nba doubling or even in some cases tripling or quadrupling the xbox one's sales when the ps4 isn't doubling or tripling the xbox one's total world wide hardware sales, according to vgchartz of course. is any of that impressive to you?

 

Edit: this is directed to generic-user-1

im not impressed if a game  that is as heavy marketed  as watchdogs, destiny or titanfall sales well.

 like i said before, some games like shadow of mordor impress me, but not the ps4 sw performance.

it would be odd if sw perform much worse than hw.  but thats not the case, the ps4 sales normal amounts of sw.

 

 

 



Yawn.....

Sony PS4 user - good stats, impressive, come on Sony.
Microsoft XBOX user - not impressed at all, rather disappointing considering their console sales, the world is green.



Glad to see Second Son crossed the 2m threshold.



Surely minecraft has done more than 0.84 at retail?

It could also get its first 5M seller before year's end.

edit: fist week cod ps4 attachrate

global: 20,19%
us: 17,37%
eu: 20,73%
row: 31,18%
japan: 0%


usa fist week sales 874k
row fist week sales 750k

usa installbase 5030k
row installbase 2405k

 

half the installbase, but nearly the same fist week sales on the USA shooter franchise
this kind on thread are totally worthless, when ps4 software is heavily overtracked

i wouldnt call it support... there would be just no multiplat games without the ps4^^.(and no ps4 without multiplat games).

its like saying the car industrie gets great support from the gasstations...

What you call it is besides the point, content makers support it with games and gamers buy it, that's called support. Sony earns money from this and third parties as well. Your downplaying is way too obvious.
